Rubina needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Gazipur
Rubina drives for a living in Gazipur, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $35
With deep gratitude,
Rubina

Good news. Because of your gifts ($36 in total) I made the first payment toward transmission replacement. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
